What at first glance appears to be an abandoned wooden turret lives a secret life as a blissful modern retreat, in this converted willow silo. Nestled amongst the trees ten minutes away from Woodstock, this wondrous three-storey tower is as well positioned to hiking nearby woods and mountains as it is to the galleries and boutiques of Woodstock. Keen skiers will love staying here thanks to its close proximity to the Hunter ski centre, a 30-minute drive away. Discover the hidden lakes and waterfalls nearby by day, and stargaze from your own hammock by night. By the time you leave, you'll be at one with the woods.
